Qian Renxue Confesses, Aren't You Afraid of Being Whipped by the Goddess of Life?

Qian Renxue truly was not afraid of rumors linking her and Li Qinglian.

If such rumors did arise, they could instead help her conceal the rumors that no heir had been born in the Crown Prince's Residence for years.

But what she absolutely did not want was for outsiders to see her lying in Li Qinglian's arms like some delicate little woman!

The Heaven Dou Empire's royals were each wilder than the last, so that sort of thing was not an utterly unacceptable scandal. But as the heir to a nation, being the passive party was another matter entirely.

"Snow, didn't you say you could accept it?"

"Actually, I don't think it's impossible."

Seeing how stiff Qian Renxue's body was and how awkward she looked, Li Qinglian reached out and wrapped an arm around her waist, then leaned close to her ear.

His breath, brimming with masculine heat, brushed against Qian Renxue's earlobe and slipped down her neck, burrowing straight into her body.

"Mm~"

Qian Renxue let out a soft moan, then hurriedly shut her lips.

"Whoa."

Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan widened their eyes, staring without blinking.

One was cold and devastatingly handsome, with an innate air of wicked charm. The other was gentle and refined, mature and composed.

Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan were both struck dumb.

"His Highness the Crown Prince, how could this be..."

"What a fierce man. He actually managed to conquer even His Highness the Crown Prince."

Yu Tianheng and the rest of the Heaven Dou Team were all dumbfounded.

Without a moment's hesitation, they quickly turned and left.

They truly feared that the Crown Prince would have them killed.

Heaven Dou Royal Academy was royal territory, and it was under His Highness the Crown Prince's management.

None of them could withstand the royal family's suppression.

"Lingling, Yan, hurry up and leave."

"If you don't go now, can you bear His Highness the Crown Prince's wrath?"

Seeing Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan still watching, Yu Tianheng hurriedly called out.

"Oh, oh."

Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan quickly turned around.

Seeing their teammates already far away, they hurried after them.

"Ah! You've ruined my reputation!"

Seeing Li Qinglian's hand resting on her waist, Qian Renxue flew into embarrassed rage.

She had intended to use the guise of being his understanding older sister to tease Li Qinglian.

Yet unexpectedly, Li Qinglian had turned the tables on her instead.

How could she, the dignified Crown Prince of Heaven Dou, become Li Qinglian's dainty little wife?

"How is that my fault? You were the one who got so close to me just now."

Li Qinglian was speechless.

A woman's moods truly were unpredictable.

Qian Renxue had been pressing herself against him just now, her chest nearly shoved into his face.

He had merely done the opposite.

Li Qinglian could not help glancing at Qian Renxue's rear.

The curve of Qian Renxue's hips stood out beneath her seductive posture.

If he really did the opposite.

Li Qinglian felt that it was not impossible.

Li Qinglian was actually a rebellious person.

"What are you looking at?"

Qian Renxue was utterly embarrassed and angry.

Although Li Qinglian said nothing, combined with what had happened earlier, Qian Renxue could guess most of it.

"Your Highness, have you ever heard a philosophical saying?"

"What saying?"

"There were no roads in this world to begin with; when enough people walked them, they became roads."

Qian Renxue looked at Li Qinglian in confusion.

Then her gaze froze.

Her blushing face was so red that even the mask on it could not conceal it.

From Li Qinglian's angle.

Even her uncovered neck had turned completely red.

Qian Renxue clawed at Li Qinglian all over.

Naturally, Qian Renxue understood Li Qinglian's metaphor.

Li Qinglian had not expected Qian Renxue to truly figure out such a complicated question, leaving him somewhat speechless. Sure enough, a woman's ladylike demeanor was all an act.

"I'm going back."

"Luckily, not many people know me. Only the Imperial Dou Team recognizes me."

Qian Renxue adjusted her clothes as she walked beside Li Qinglian along the streets of Heaven Dou City.

"You're worried about being seen, yet you still..."

Li Qinglian shook his head, somewhat speechless.

This was probably the most dangerous thing Qian Renxue had done since infiltrating the Heaven Dou Empire.

She truly was not afraid of being exposed.

"But... I... I missed you."

Qian Renxue gazed at Li Qinglian with her beautiful eyes, a trace of resentment in her gaze.

"Snow, stop. We've only met a few times. How can you already miss me?"

Li Qinglian was completely unaccustomed to hearing Qian Renxue's sweet words.

Since when did a woman like Qian Renxue say such tender things?

Wait!

In a normal relationship, wasn't this supposed to be the man's job?

Good grief, was he being pursued in reverse?

"Hmph. In my heart, you are my husband. I don't care."

Qian Renxue lightly bit her teeth together.

Love?

It seemed rather hasty.

But Qian Renxue knew one thing: apart from Li Qinglian, there was absolutely no other man in this world she could look up to.

Before meeting Li Qinglian, she might perhaps have been able to fancy someone else, but now she could not.

Women only set high standards when they met men they did not like that much.

Li Qinglian's family background and the support his future could provide were both things Qian Renxue desired.

As for feelings, they could be cultivated slowly.

"But what about Nana?"

Li Qinglian thought of Hu Liena.

That saintess far away in Spirit Hall had also secretly fallen for him.

Even he did not know why.

But now that he possessed the Pure Heart Eyes, he could easily understand women's hearts. Thus, he knew that Hu Liena's feelings for him were genuine.

Li Qinglian was in a difficult position.

Without these Pure Heart Eyes, Li Qinglian could have played dumb.

But being able to see their true inner selves, he could not bear to hurt any of them.

"Nana? Since when? Didn't you go into seclusion?"

Qian Renxue's beautiful eyes widened.

In her impression, Li Qinglian had not met Hu Liena much more often than he had met her.

"Still, even if there is one more Hu Liena, I can accept it..."

Qian Renxue bit her red lips with her silver teeth.

???

Li Qinglian was dumbfounded.

No, where were your boundaries? Your principles?

For a moment, Li Qinglian felt as though he were meeting the person before him for the first time.

You were Qian Renxue! Where had your principles gone?

In that instant, Li Qinglian finally understood what kind of life those top-tier rich second-generation heirs lived.

So standards and principles were only meant to make things difficult for ordinary people, huh.

In truth, women's desire to climb upward was even stronger than men's.

But after thinking about it, Li Qinglian suddenly understood.

His identity and status were nearly one of a kind on Douluo Continent.

Given some time, Li Qinglian would at minimum become a God King, while his upper limit was boundless. Qian Renxue did not know this, but his relationship with the Goddess of Life alone was enough for her to place her bet on him.

If Wan'er knew that revealing her identity had instead made Qian Renxue develop feelings for me, I wonder how she would feel.

When Snow descends to the lower realm next time, will they start tearing into each other? Qian Renxue definitely can't beat Wan'er.

Thinking of the Goddess of Life gave Li Qinglian another headache.

That woman had always regarded him as her husband.
